Weight lifting for beginners? Any good guides?

The best way to start a new exercise regimen, IMO, is with a personal trainer who
knows their stuff. Someone who is knowledgeable not only about equipment and exercise, but who knows about diet, physiology, and the psychology of training will go a long way toward getting you acclimated. A good personal trainer, esp for the absol beginner, is worth their weight 8n gold, and will keep you from developing bad habits at the outset, and give you the knowledge that will provide you with a lifetime of safe time in the gym.

As to having a thin build and all that, weight training, done right, can only improve it. However, much of that is dependent on the right diet and exercise technique adapted to ur body type. For this, a personal trainer is invaluable as.a.guide and educator: teach me how to fish, etc. Just my .02.
